About Denver
Denver, Colorado, known as the Mile-High City, is the state capital and the largest city in Colorado, located at the base of the Rocky Mountains.
Water Situation
The tap water in Denver primarily comes from surface water sources, originating in high-quality mountain snowmelt and rain, collected in over 8,000 miles of streams and rivers. The water is noted for its purity, though it passes through treatment plants to ensure safety. Historically, Denver Water ensures rigorous testing and filtering to maintain high safety standards, meeting or exceeding federal and state requirements.
